_ Institutions we’ve helped

_ Davide Fikera

Conscious Collective is led by Davide Fichera, a strategic design professor at IE University with a demonstrated and established reputation for assisting some of the world’s most influential brands, institutions, and academies, such as Converse, Eastpak, Ecoalf, Museo Thyssen Bornemisza, Guggenheim Museum, NABA Academy, IED Academy, among others.

Throughout his career, Davide has started companies and developed hundreds of design projects, visual campaigns, and strategies. He designed the identity for conscious brands like Ecoalf and is the cofounder of Nina Mûr eyewear, one of the most awarded, recognized, and innovative brands in the eyewear industry.

_ Collective

Dynamic society requires dynamic institutions, this is why dynamic institutions need dynamic partners to achieve their goals.

Driven by this awareness, Davide has reimagined his company as a collaborative studio. Conscious Collective is the evolution of Fikera & Quiche, a multidisciplinary boutique agency founded in 2008.

At Conscious Collective, the true core strength is a multicultural and flexible collective of professionals with a genuinely multidisciplinary and dynamic background.

In history, we have witnessed that genuine richness emerges when we celebrate and foster diversity in all its manifestations.
